Bobby "The Brain" Heenan passed away on September 17th, 2017. He was 72-year-old.

During his life, he garnered attention due to his outstanding personality and unique presentation. His addition to any commentary team was sure to add a shine only he could bring.

Bobby had been sick in the days before his death and his daughter stated it was sudden. He battled a jaw infection, broken hip, and throat cancer in his life.
